Combined CMA Forum FAQ with How not to look stupid (For newbs).

Non-Technical YMAS level threads Will Be Moved.

In other words any thread pertaining to the street, street vs sport, effectiveness and other inane garbage are gone.

Example:
Starting Off In Wing Chun - No BS MMA and Martial Arts

Also. I have been kicking many "Hi I'm looking for..... back to newbietown" Unless, you are a regular like Ronin.74 did recently. He is a coach and some people will get slack a,s they know how to frame the question correctly.

Everyone is a noob at some time so why complain about it.
A stupid question is a stupid question no matter who asks it and I'm sure we all have asked one at some time in our posting on forums
Asking a question in and of itself is not dumb or stupid but may only be the immaturity and lack of understanding of the questioner about the subject
However some people are just ignorant of most things in life

Complain about it? You are complaining in a rule thread. FAQS are created to help a noob understand where to post, what to ask, and to use the search function before starting the 1,000,000th "WHY IS <INSERT ART> HATED HERE?"

Asking a question in and of itself is not dumb or stupid but may only be the immaturity and lack of understanding of the questioner about the subject

Or you are here to pick a fight, complain about rules, whine about the disrespect of your art, or troll and make more work for the Mods of a forum. You know, disrupting people who need to ask legit questions no matter how noobish.

However some people are just ignorant of most things in life

Yes, three posts and you have complained about something in every single one.

Nope to all of the above. Did not reralise I was disturbing anyone and no disrespect intended to mods or rules.

You actually asked a question.

Everyone is a noob at some time so why complain about it.

This also not a fact.

Nope to all of the above.

Did I say you were doing it? No.

You said:

The keyword in my response is "or."

Here this will help.

Does that make sense?

First time I posted something in the Japanese forum I got flamed for typing something stupid. Being a karate-ka who is interested in either Kung Fu or Ninjutsu it's hard to find a good class with all the TKD dojangs and MMA gyms. But for me it be easier to study Kung Fu and still get my money's worth for it. Anyway I got flamed for talking smack about MMA.
